Chapter 843 Returning the Saber
The Great Player of Light and Shadow Chapter 843: Returning to the Saber
This New Year is destined to be celebrated on the set, but everyone is used to it.
On New Year's Day this year, there are two dramas to be released remotely: "Tang Detective 2" and "Operation Red Sea".
Yuan Yuan originally did not want the two dramas to be released on the same day, but the military hoped that "Operation Red Sea" could be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Yuan Yuan tried hard to change his wish, but "Tang Detective 2" was scheduled to be released on New Year's Day early in the morning.
In the first year of junior high school, it cannot be changed.
So on the first day of the new year this year, I can see myself beating myself remotely again.
But fortunately, the market is now huge and the audience is very enthusiastic about watching movies. It is difficult for one movie to win the entire schedule - last year, "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" at the same time as "Wolf Warrior 2" also had more than 500 million
At the box office, Ahri is very satisfied with this result.
There are five blockbuster movies released on the first day of this year, three of which are series sequels.
"Monster Hunt 2", "Journey to the West: The Kingdom of Daughters" and "Tang Detective 2".
The most noteworthy one is "Monster Hunt 2".
The online and offline promotions of this film were the strongest among all the films in the same period, and Blue Channel wasted no time on resources.
The scale of the announcement of "Monster Hunt 2" is not unprecedented, but it is certainly unprecedented.
"With such a high tone, I'm not afraid of falling to my death." This was Cheng Yu'an's evaluation of the film during its promotion.
How did the first film win the championship in film history? The audience still remembers it when it caused so much trouble.
It was filled with so much attention that even the producers themselves thought it was a good film.
In fact, looking back at the first part, except for the unsightly design of Huba and other monsters, the story of the first part was smooth and the performances were up to standard.
Three years ago, it should be no problem to get a real level of just over 1 billion.
But the film studio insists on paying 2 billion.
Immediately after making money, start a second movie - this is all about making money.
This film does not have a good reputation within the film industry, and many producers are not optimistic about its performance during the Spring Festival.
What he said is that he is not optimistic that it can achieve the goal of "surpassing "Wolf Warrior 2"".
"Wolf Warrior 2" became a target after it became popular, and everyone said they would surpass it.
Also, eight out of ten people around Cheng Yuan, including Liu Yifei, think Huba is "not cute at all."
"I thought Huba was not good-looking from the first movie." Liu Yifei said, "No wonder netizens call it carrot essence."
Not only Liu Yifei, but even her 2-year-old daughter doesn't like Huba. She prefers the chubby Dabai and the yellow minions.
She would rather watch Xiong Da and Xiong Er than Huba.
Of course, Cheng Yu'an doesn't like it or not, but he doesn't despise "Monster Hunt 2" at all: "I feel that the reputation of the second part will not be able to hold up, and the box office trend will fall off a cliff after the first week." The new "Film Industry Promotion"
"The Law" severely cracked down on water injection at the box office. If they want to play dirty tricks again, some people will report him.
"But after all, with such a large initial publicity investment, the audience cannot be underestimated. The early income should be very good."
Cheng Yuan was not worried about the performance of "Tang Detective 2" and "Operation Red Sea" at all, and did not even call the company back to inquire about the promotion and pre-sale status.
Still concentrating on filming "Mulan" in Tangcheng, Xiangyang.
After communication between the art team and the film and television base, at least several palaces used by the "Mulan" crew have been adjusted, and some unreasonable details have been eliminated.

90% of the audience may not care about these things - foreign audiences even less care, but the details show sincerity. Although Mulan is a fictional story and the dynasty chronology is unclear, it can be determined roughly in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
This requires the art team to restore the characteristics of that era as much as possible and make modifications based on shooting needs.
As soon as the crew entered Tangcheng, they had to shoot the action scene in the film where Hua Mulan leads the team to stop Khan from beheading the emperor.
According to Cheng Yu'an, "I filmed the most difficult part first so that everyone can celebrate the New Year more relaxedly."
But until I was thirty, only two-thirds of this action scene was completed.
The main problem was with Wuzhi. In the end, Hua Mulan killed the Khan and saved the emperor. The Wuzhi team thought about many moves, but Cheng Yu'an was not satisfied.
Cheng Yu'an always said: "This is the last resort. It must be chic and beautiful. It doesn't matter if it is exaggerated."
In the previous action scenes, Hua Mulan has demonstrated the use of bows, bows, spears and swords. Especially in the snowy mountain battle, Hua Mulan killed one of the opponent's commanders with a beautiful return rifle.
This last scene was a one-on-one fight between Hua Mulan and Khan. In terms of weapon selection, Cheng Yuan and the martial arts team unanimously chose a knife, combined with some boxing and kicking skills.
After discussing for a long time, but still unable to decide on a specific action plan, Cheng Yu'an simply suggested trying all the existing actions to see the effect.
Liu Yifei smiled and said: "You are really willing to spare me."
"You're so good at fighting. I'll give you a chicken drumstick for dinner. Thank you for your hard work."
After trying four or five moves, the Martial Arts team was most satisfied and recommended to use the saber-returning sword, which was converted from a gun to a knife. The photos turned out very nice.
But Cheng Yu'an felt that he had used a saber before, and the last move was repeated with a saber. It looked good, but the movements were not rich enough and could not give the audience fresh excitement.
"Do you think this will work?" Cheng Yu'an was discussing with Yuan Baye on the set. "We won't be fancy with the last move, just be direct."
Cheng Yu'an put forward his own opinion: "Hua Mulan and Khan are fighting here," Cheng Yu'an made gestures, "This is a wall. Hua Mulan stepped on the wall, then turned around and slashed it with a knife. Khan raised the knife but did not block it, and then
Hua Mulan landed on the ground and struck a pose.
"This is more direct and simple, and it can be considered a kind of saber."
Yuan Baye agreed to do this, but Cheng Yu'an was not a professional martial artist after all. The action team understood Cheng Yu'an's needs, made certain modifications based on his, and then explained the entire set of movements to the two actors.
Liu Yifei and Duo Bujie understood it and demonstrated it several times on the spot, indicating that it could be turned on.
On the other side, Cheng Yu'an was communicating about props and make-up: "I want a blood streak like this on Teacher Dobjie's face, which needs to be cut off with a knife. It's the most commonly used death scene in action movies. It's not difficult to do."
When it comes to makeup and props, you must understand: "No problem, it's easy to do."
"Okay," Cheng Yu'an sat back in the director's chair, "All departments are ready to start."
The previous fight scenes have been filmed, and now we are specifically filming the last move.
Liu Yifei and Duo Bujie followed up the previous moves with a few moves, and Liu Yifei used Wia to step on the wall.
No action was taken.
"Director, no." Liu Yifei still called the director obediently, "Come again." Liu Yifei was put down by Wia.
This action was filmed for the tenth time before it was approved by Cheng Yu'an: "Okay, passed. I will add the falling shot later, and hurry up with makeup and props."
After putting on makeup and changing the broken knife, the two actors returned to their post-kill pose.
The death scene freezes on Khan's face, with a pair of unwilling eyes beneath the long bloodstains.
boom!
His knife was also broken.
Khan's burly body fell to the ground.
Hua Mulan stood up and walked towards the emperor.
Chapter completed!
